Exhibitions

With all of the frequent openings, art talks, and events, being an Art student at CSUCI comes with a “built-in” social life.
Two of the four spaces within the Art Program are dedicated solely to student work, meaning there is ample opportunity for students to collaborate and develop innovative projects for public display.

The CSUCI Art Galleries are pleased to accept submissions for exhibitions to be added to the schedule. Artists, community members, and independent curators exploring various media, including: installation, sculpture, design, as well as other academic subjects are encouraged to submit for periodic opportunities. Submissions for group shows and/or solo exhibitions that are connected with the University Mission and oriented towards student learning will be strongly considered. Submit your proposals

Larry Lytle's Wondercamera

Larry Lytle’s photography is kindled by an unrelenting sense of wonder. His work explores the inner machinations of the human psyche, helping us to see how we fit in the world, and what we are doing to the world. This exhibition is a celebration of the sense of wonder that has inspired a decades-long creative practice.
Larry Lytle’s Wondercamera marks the return of the beloved instructor who built CSUCI’s photography program and mentored students for nearly two decades. Come out and see the career-spanning “mini-retrospective” offering a glimpse at the evolution of Larry’s historic practice, alongside the debut of his newest series,Word ∙ Image ∙ Word (2023-2024). Larry Lytle is a fine artist, writer, and retired Art lecturer. His artwork has been shown in galleries across the country. His work is in the collections at the Center for Creative Photography, Society for Contemporary Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, and various private collections. He is also a contributing writer to Black & White magazine, and has written a biography about the life and work of an American photographer William Mortensen (published by Feral House).
